Seurer content to be backup to Young SPORTS ALMANAC
By PHIL ELLENBECKER Sports Editor
While many of his teammates from last year's KU football team are in National Football League training camps or are getting ready for KU practices to start Aug. 16, for Frank Seurer, last year's starting quarterback, it's time to relax.
Seurer just finished his rookie season with the Los Angeles Express of the United States Football League, after being drafted in the third round of the January USPL draft by the Express. He was their starting quarterback before Steve Young, everybody's All-America quarterback last year, signed a multimillion dollar contract with the Express and took over the starting job.
Losing his starting job didn't dampen Seurer's enthusiasm for playing in Los Angeles. He's from nearby Huntington Beach.
"I'm very happy with the Express," he said. "I get along well with the players and the coaching staff is very knowledgeable . . . I just hope things work out well. I plan on sticking around a couple more years."
Seurer was picked by the Seattle Seahawks in the June supplemental draft of last year's college players already signed by USFL teams. Seurer said he hasn't been contacted by Seattle. He has two years left on his Express contract.
Seurer was one of 15 rookies on the Express this year who, in the estimation of NFL scouts, would have been taken in the first four rounds of the regular NFL draft if they hadn't been signed by the Express. He said having that much
high-priced talent on the team didn't cause any friction among the players.
"With the team we had, we never really thought about the business part of the game," he said. "I think that had a big part to do with how well we did this year."
The Express, after starting out slowly, squeezed into the USFL
powerhouse before they come out to see you. We're going to have to establish ourselves. This year sort of set a ground for us."
Searer got a chance to start against the Wranglers in the Express' final regular-season game when Express head coach John Hadi decided to rest Young. He didn't fare too well, completing only 8 of 29 passes and
"The players are just as big and fast and strong in college as they are in the USFL, but the game's more scientific in the pros."
Frank Seurer
playoffs with a 10-8 regular-season record and won one game before losing to the Arizona Wranglers in the Western Conference championships.
Despite the Express' success, the team had trouble drawing fans to its games at the 90,000-seat Los Angeles Coliseum. Only 7,964 fans attended their marathon battle in the playoffs against Oakland, which they won 27-21 in overtime in the longest game in pro football history.
"It's tough for us," Seurer said. "We've got a lot of competition. There's the Lakers, who made it to the NBA finals, and the Dodgers, plus L.A. fans as a whole are pretty particular. You've got to become a
throwing two interceptions in a 35-10 loss.
"I'd started the first couple of games and felt pretty comfortable, but then I'd had something like 15 weeks off, just playing in practice against our team and scrimmaging," he said. "It's a different situation, going against a different team, especially the Arizona Wranglers. I just have to take it as a learning experience, and hopefully it will make me a better player."
Seurer started four of the seven games he played in, and completed 64 of 132 passes on the year for 658 yards. He made touchdowns, with eight interceptions.
Hadl brought in Sid Gilman, who
coached him at San Diego several years ago, to run the Express offense. Gilman has been known for many years as one of the greatest innovators of the passing game.
"He understands the game very well." Seurer said. "He's a mastermind at what he's doing."
Seurer said the wide-open, pro-style passing game used by KU coach Mike Gottfried last season helped ease his transition to the pro game.
"We ran quite a bit of one-back stuff at KU, so when I came here I pretty much basically understood what to look for with four receivers in the pattern, what routes are run and what combinations are possible," he said.
Seurer said the most significant change he noticed in making the transition was the increasing importance of the mental aspect of the game in the pros.
"The players are just as big and fast and strong in college as they are in the USFL, but the game's more scientific in the pros," he said. "You really have to know what you're doing."
Seurer finally has a chance to give his brain and body a rest after playing two football seasons, college and pro, practically back-to-back.
He plans to return to school in the fall, needing 27 hours to complete requirements for a degree in personnel administration. And if the KU football team needs a helping hand this fall, Seurer is ready to be of service.
“If they want me to go out there and help, I will be happy to go out there,” he said. “Of course I'll be watching the games and going to some practices, but if they need me to do anything, I'll be happy to do it.”
Lawrence peace-a-thon to be held tomorrow
The first Athletes United for Peace-a-tion, which will include a 5-kilometer run, a community spaghetti dinner, a dance concert and the award of a free trip to the Summer Olympics, will be held tomorrow on the KU campus.
Intended as a pre-Olympic celebration, the peace-a-thon will start with a dinner at Potter Pavilion at 5:30 p.m.
A concert by the group Nightingw will follow at 7:30 p.m. at the Kansas Union Ballroom. Admission is $3.00. Nightingw has been invited to Los Angeles to play at some Olympic-related events.
"They're a fine group," said Bob Swan, chairman and founder of Athletes United for Peace. "They're the kind of group that can be enjoyed by young rock fans as well as middle-aged adults."
The 5-kilometer run will end the night's events at 9:30 p.m. The run
will begin on Sunflower Road on the northeast edge of the KU campus and will circle the campus, ending in front of the Kansas Union.
Swan said that more than 100 entries had been received for the race, which he hoped would become an annual event. Entry fee on the day of the race will be $8.00, and is tax-deductible. All entries are eligible for the drawing for the free trip to the Olympics. The drawing will take place after the race.
Swan said AUP mainly hoped to cover costs, even though the peace-a-thon was intended to be a fund raiser. A Sunday bike-a-thon originally scheduled has been postponed until fall.
AUP last year caused a nationwide stir by inviting and successful arranging the visit of Soviet athletes to the Kansas Relays.
Swan said that $15,000 remained to be paid of the $50,000 required to finance the trip.
